9.430 Over speed

Hi
Just notice on 9.430 if you go over the speed limit by 10% the box on the bottom left turns red. Not seen that on other app revisions. Can that be disabled so it just shows speed? If so how?

Sorry, you can't. It's built into the application to flash like that.

Thanks David - It's a bit distracting, not that I go over the speed limit you understand.

If you really can't put up with it, the only effective response I've read is to stick a piece of opaque tape over it. Nice to put technology in its place....

At what speed does it start to flash? I've seen it turn red but on my 940 that's all it does.

It only turns red on my 750, never seen it flash.

Only turns red on mine, and always has.

It's always red on my GO1000, and at less then 10% over the speed limit.

Nor have I seen it flash either. I guess, stretching a point here, the first time the red colour appears, one could refer to it as 'flashing' but that's about it.......

Possibly if you were consistently slightly over or under the trigger point [34mph in a 30 mph zone], it would seem like it was 'flashing'?

No, it's got quite a hysteresis... Once it has gone red, you need to reduce speed below the threshold for a couple of seconds before it turns back to normal again, and the "on" threshold is slightly higher than the "off" threshold.
Between the two of those, it stops the red patch from "flashing" wildly if you are on (or just above) the speed limit..
For once TT got it about right! Smile

To be fair, the OP never suggested that it flashes - his words were:
